Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Human insulin is being commercially produced from a transgenic species of Escherichia coli.
Detailed explanation-2: -insert the human insulin gene into the plasmid. Researchers return the plasmid to the bacteria and… put the “recombinant” bacteria in large fermentation tanks. There, the recombinant bacteria use the gene to begin producing human insulin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Synthetic human insulin was the first golden molecule of the biotech industry and the direct result of recombinant DNA technology. Currently, millions of diabetics worldwide use synthetic insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels. Synthetic insulin is made in both bacteria and yeast.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reason: Transgenic microorganisms can be developed to produce proteins of human use. E.g.-insulin.
